Win-win scenarios are nice, but we can't only implement those if we want to avoid 2°C+ scenarios. We definitely should avoid lose-lose scenarios though, and monocropping of 'bioenergy' plants may be one of those. We need to always consider the amount of carbon avoided or removed (i.e., scalability), and I feel that many of the potential win-win solutions don't fare well in that regard.

Significant accomplishments are gained when leaders from 150 nations meet at Biodiversity COP16 and leaders of nearly 200 meet at Climate COP29 and, after two weeks of negotiations, reach a unanimous consensus to shoulder responsibilities and take productive steps. Much needs to be done, but please don't downplay the conferences as "missed opportunities." Thank you for reporting on such complex issues. We have a lot of work to do to get our governments in order.
